Checking availabilty

The second in an exclusive series of concerts celebrating the influence of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Dmitri Shostakovich was an avid admirer of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach’s ‘The Well-Tempered Clavier’, is thought to be the direct inspiration for Shostakovich’s later set of 24 preludes and fugues.

This concert unites the two composers in a celebration of Bach’s enduring influence.

Hanslip’s poetic touch kept every note she played alive and fresh.
